MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Seniors Justin Pickham
(Armidale, Australia) and Erick Siqueira (Sao
Paulo, Brazil) of the Georgia College & State
University men's tennis team were named Co-GCSU Athlete of the
Week, the sports information office announced today (Oct. 21). The
award honors the top performance by a Bobcat during the week ending
Oct. 19. This is the second such honor for Pickham and the third
for both Siqueira and the Bobcat men's tennis team this season.

Siqueira teamed with Pickham to take the runner-up spot in the
ITA Division II Doubles Championship, the first Bobcat men's duo to
make it to the ITA championship game in school history. The Bobcat
duo picked up two wins on day one, buzzing through BYU-Hawaii 6-2,
6-4. In round two, they picked up a three-set win over Concordia
College 6-2, 3-6, 11-9. The Bobcat pair was felled by Lynn
University in a three-set marathon for the title.
